Yaqona is more than just a drink to us — it is part of our culture, our land, and our people.
Our journey begins in the rich soil of Fiji, where yaqona has been grown and shared in villages for generations. It has always been used to bring people together for ceremonies, storytelling, and moments of respect and connection.
At Kava Kulture, we work closely with local farmers who carefully grow and harvest each root. By sourcing yaqona directly from producing regions in Fiji, we ensure that the product remains strong, clean, and true to its origins.
What started as a small passion for sharing authentic Fijian yaqona has grown into a journey we are proud of. Our goal is simple: to bring the true taste and spirit of Fiji to people everywhere while supporting the communities that grow it.
Through strong relationships with farmers and trusted sourcing networks, Kava Kulture connects yaqona from the farms of the north to consumers across Fiji.
Every time you mix a bowl, you are not just drinking yaqona — you are sharing in a tradition that has been part of Fijian life for centuries.
Vinaka vakalevu for being part of our journey.

The stems have many lenticels along the length of the internode and are dark purple to black in colour. Lenticels are raised, often with dark brown centres. Some green colour may be seen through the purple pigmentation, but the dark colouration dominates. Petioles are generally dark red/purple in colour and the point on the leaf where the petiole joins the leaf has some purple colouration. The internodes are generally long. Loa kasa balavu and Loa kasa leka are very similar in appearance, but differ in the length of the internodes with loa kasa balavu being longer. Loa kasa balavu has been observed being cultivated on Vanua Levu, Taveuni, Ovalau and Kadavu. Local names used to describe Loa kasa balavu include: Dokobana loa (on Vanua Levu and Taveuni), Loa kasa balavu (on Vanua Levu), Dokobana loa balavu (on Vanua Levu), Loa (on Ovalau and Kadavu) and Kabakabavale (on Kadavu).
